Umbrella of Hope 'Be Our Pet'

6 month old Domestic Medium Haired Special Needs Kitten for ADOPTION

Uncle Jesse is part of our Cats of Hazzard litter. You can follow them on their own page on Instagram @catsofhazzard.

We are raising funds to cover the costs of sending these cats to specialists here: https://www.gofundme.com/catsofhazzard or you can PayPal us at www.paypal.me/UOH

Uncle Jesse was born around 4/17/2016 with several defects to the bones in his hind limbs. He has tentatively been diagnosed with right femoral agenesis, femoral head hypoplasia and bilateral tibial and metatarsal hypoplasia/agensis... pretty much this means he is missing bones in his lower legs.

This does not stop him. He runs, scoots, climbs cat trees, wrestles with the other kitties (not so gently sometimes) and purrs like he has a motor in his throat. He uses the litterbox with zero issues. His only restriction is that he MUST be indoor-only unless directly supervised in a contained area (watching you garden while you are outside with him in a fenced yard and going back inside when you do).

He LOVES other cats but he expects them to play with him. He is not always gentle. He likes to play WWF with the tiny kittens (his younger siblings -- same mom, different litter, back-to-back pregnancies. Yes, she has now been spayed). He has so far not been super appreciative of the dog in the foster home. He **may** be able to learn to live with a dog but we cannot make any promises.

While he is not quite ready for adoption because we are trying to get him seen by the specialists at the local Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at UC Davis to ensure that he will be fine long-term and does not need any interventions... we are accepting interest on him.

We are located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Normally, we expect adopters to come to us to adopt. However, we would be willing to raise the funds to escort him in the cabin of an airplane to any major US airport to get him to a forever home if that home was STELLAR or if he was going to live with someone who has the same condition (or a similar one) that he does.

We DO expect adopters of this litter to keep up on their social media accounts and this is a condition of their adoption (we can teach you) because we are huge proponents of special needs adoptions and we need animals like the Cats of Hazzard to be out there and be proud and show other people that being different is okay and that adopting an animal with special needs is NOT scary. We want people to be inspired to adopt the animals who are not 'perfect' (although perfect is relative) so that animals like Uncle Jesse have the option of being adopted and not euthanized.

He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and is free of parasites. We hope to have him evaluated at UC Davis by a specialist in the near future.

Interested parties should send a DETAILED email to beourpet@gmail.com and we can start the conversation to see if your home is a good match for him and work out the details. We expect he will be ready to go to his new home in December.
